Shooting reported in Israel in 2 locations

First of all I stand corrected he was druze second of all you missed the point I know they are different but to most of us it makes no difference which one

When a guy sacrifices his life to save (most probably) many more Jewish lives, it should make a difference.
Don't get me wrong, we have to acknowledge the open nissim we see in these cases where "only a druze" was killed, instead of, God forbid, (another) one of ours.
Nevertheless, it's insensitive to just confuse them with our enemies, especially since many of them risk and occasionally sacrifice their lives for the protection of Jewish people.

Thanks for the letter.  If I may ask, what Seminary is she at?
The druze are selfless public servants,  may hashem avenge their deaths.

I actually don't know - I think she teaches at a few seminaries. I got the email as a forward.

thanks for this...unfortunately, and understandably, I just think it really hasn't processed for him yet. I hope he stays this strong.

I started listening, I skipped to the middle and then stopped. I could not listen, it is just too much for me

[chaimmayer]

I haven't had the guts to look at the graphic pictures, the regular ones were a bit much for me but I didn't have any issues listening to this.  Thanks for sharing.

Does he share very graphic details? Am I going to be able to sleep if I listen to it?

[chaimmayer]

I didn't think it was too graphic.  There was one place where he mentions one small thing in passing but it was basically all hashagacha pratis.
I watched the hatzala responder in English Yesterday and that was much worse.
ETA:  He mentions that he himself was able to sleep last night.
